DEGENERATIONS. 129 local affection; very rarely it appears to be idiopathic, or at leastthe primary disease cannot be traced. By far the most frequentdetermining cause is some long-continued suppuration, such asaccompanies necrosis or caries of bone, chronic abscess, jointdisease, &c. In the same way it may follow pulmonary phthisiswhere there is much inflammatory destruction of the lung, dilata-tion of the bronchi with suppuration, empyema, chronic intestinalidceration, pyelitis, cystitis, and, it is said, chrooic ulceration ofthe skin. Syphilis is a very frequent precursor of waxy degenera-tion, and this usually when it takes the form of bone disease orchroni
